A perfect storm may be heading the republicans way.

It looks like the republicans have completely failed on healthcare. They looked like a bunch of assholes. Next up is tax reform. There is a very good chance this will also fail. They will enter the 2018 election season as complete failures.

I believe starting next year we could start seeing the impact of having an idiot as president on our economy. It takes a while before the results of incompetence start to show. We could also start seeing the results of deregulation. Next year we could also start seeing the results of an incompetent foreign policy.

This could lead to a major democrat victory in 2018. Lets hope I am right.

They are a professional opposition party and know not how to govern. Like vultures, they don't produce anything but happily feed off the labor of others.

economically we are still largely governed by Democratic policy-Trump's just nibbling around the edges with his Executive Orders. Republicans have gotten themselves into trouble for almost 40 years with Trickle Down their legs Supply Side tax policy which has always exploded the deficit

I think about that all the time. Trump has been riding obamas coattails. I still believe there has been massive incompetence and neglect under Trump. It will show, sooner than later I hope.
